libbpf_set_strict_mode() checks that the passed mode doesn't contain
extra bits for LIBBPF_STRICT_* flags that don't exist yet.
It makes it difficult for applications to disable some strict flags as
something like "LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL & ~LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS"
is rejected by this check and they have to use a rather complicated
formula to calculate it.[0]
One possibility is to change LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL to only contain the bits
of all existing LIBBPF_STRICT_* flags instead of 0xffffffff. However
it's not possible because the idea is that applications compiled against
older libbpf_legacy.h would still be opting into latest
LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL features.[1]
The other possibility is to remove that check so something like
"LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL & ~LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS" is allowed. It's
what this commit does.
